Autowave Plasticity

Discusses the nature of plastic flow in solids associated with the development of a localized plastic flow. The author demonstrates how patterns of localized plastic flow are associated with autowave modes that are generated in a deformable sample. Suitable for graduate students and research specialists working in material science.
